It depends on what you are trying to convey.
1. I don't feel good - This usually conveys that the person is referring to his emotional state or how his day is going.
2. I don't feel well - This usually conveys that the person is referring to his physical state, that he is sick.

Hi and good morning...Very good question....Yes there is a difference on assumption, intuition and faith and what is actually correct. I can assume or believe that God exists due to my faith but there is a possibility that there may not be a God in true reality. I hope and pray that what I have been taught through the years in my faith are accurate but there is always a slim chance that in reality it isn't true. Remember the saying 'Seeing is believing" well this is true in a lot of ways although when it comes to God for instance one believes in their heart and soul and See's God in their heart and mind so do speak. I think realistically. If the issue or situation or topic doesn't feel right and If I don't know the answer then I will ask or research the topic myself to obtain the correct answer if their is one. If I have the assumption that my bf is cheating per say, then I will wait to find the evidence at hand or wait till he makes that one mistake to prove my thoughts otherwise I'm not going to accuse him just because I have the assumption. Have a great day!

Goofy question about Agreement. The Answer concerns whether we are In Control of Grammar, a kind of communication Law, or if the Grammar is in control of the Speakers.
We , the speakers, are the ones who made the rule: Good only considered a Adjective. Call Good an Adverb and life will go on pretty much as before. Like the confusion over ending a sentence
with At, it violates a rule and that Rule is goofy. People speak in a manner that moves to Communication.
The Test is if its Understood!

i don't feel well
you never use good to describe feelings or sentiments or health
notice that something is good only if you can use the opposite to describe it and i don't think you can use i don't feel bad either
secondly it doesn't fully show how you feel
thirdly every one have his own idea of feeling good but every one knows that feeling well means one thing
others think Good is AM and Well is BE

if you're talking about being sick or hurt than it's "I don't feel well" If you're talking about what kind of person you are (good person or bad person) Than it's "i don't feel good." Such as: "I don't feel good because I know I shouldn't have stolen that money"

Well, if you are talking about your mood (you're sad or tired or sick) then you would say formally "I don't feel well" and informally "I don't feel good"
If you're talking physical pain than you'd want to say "I'm hurt"
Translators usually don't work very good.
Good luck.

I don't feel well. "Good" is an adjective, used to describe nouns. You are trying yo describe how you FEEL, a verb. "Well" is the adverb form of good.
